The reference is listed on page 1016 under an unpublished book by Rose entitled Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age, and Other Early Writings of Fr. Seraphim Rose. The full text of the letter was printed from the Web site of Orthodox Christian Information Center, administered by Patrick Barnes, to demonstrate an orthodox critique of Merton and in a section against ecumenism ‹http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/merton.aspx›.
